GOOD EFFECT Of THE PARTY
Mr. IIiscoek Is fortunate in having disposition
which does not arouse resentment. Although he has
been a conspicuous leader in the party for many years,
he has awakened no antagonisms. Ills success was
therefore generally regarded as indicating hnrmoni-
Gus party organization, which would insure in
the Presidential III this State next year. As
for his abiy and capacity 10 I'll a sent in the Senate
both were conceded by all. Senator Griswod and
some other members OF the Legislature who came down
Yesterday said that the talk OF :" doodle" which the
Democrats had made use OF so much would not avail
anything. they had not the harlihood TO
make such charge against Mr. lliscock The Miller

party. Mr. horton enjoys the most gene raj respect
a capable generous aed honorable man. but the two
forces behind them had fought long that the election
OF either must have causo OF bitterness and
hard feeling that might dono the party harm IL
better TO avoid this AID the choice OF Mr. HscOck
certain has avoided IL. The Miller men have the
sataiacton at least OF knowing that their adversary
not won the day The Morton men can be consoled
by the fact that II they have not done Just what they
wanted, vet thoy were the force that accomplished
the result. Personally Dir. lliscock IL admirable
